Pretty simple instructions. Rank the top 6 teams from best to worst. You're free to pick anybody you want. All what I ask is no repeats.
Lets look at some popular teams:
THE UNDEFEATED 8-0 SQUAD
Clemson - Beat four FBS schools with a winning record - Wake Forest by 6, NC State by 10, Florida State by 6, and Syracuse by 6.
Georgia - Beat two FBS schools with a winning record - Oregon by 46 and South Carolina by 41. Missouri is the only team they did not win by double digits.
Michigan - Beat two FBS schools with a winning record - Maryland by 7 and Penn State by 21. Their only close game was against Maryland.
Ohio State - Beat three FBS schools with a winning record - Notre Dame by 11, Toledo by 56 and Penn State by 13. Won every game by at least 11 points.
Tennessee - Beat three FBS schools with a winning record - LSU by 27, Alabama by 3 and Kentucky by 38 points.
TCU - Beat three FBS schools with a winning record - Oklahoma by 31, Kansas by 7, and Kansas State by 10.
THE ONE-LOSS SQUAD
Alabama - Beat three FBS schools with a winning record - Texas by 1, Arkansas by 23, and Miss State by 24 points. Solo loss to Tennessee on the road by 3 points.
Illinois - Beat two FBS schools with a winning record - Wyoming by 32 and Minnesota by 12 points. Lost to 3-5 Indiana by 3 points on the road. Allowing only 8.9 points per game, the best in FBS.
North Carolina - Beat two FBS schools with a winning record - App State by 2 and Minnesota by 3. Lost to 5-3 Notre Dame by 13 points.
Ole Miss (8-1) - Beat two FBS schools with a winning record - Troy by 18 and Kentucky by 3. Lost to 6-2 LSU by 25 points on the road.
Oregon - Beat UCLA by 15 points. Only lost to Georgia.
Tulane - Beat 6-2 Kansas State on the road by 7 and 5-3 Houston in OT by 3. Lost to 5-3 Southern Miss by 3.
UCLA - Beat three FBS schools with a winning record - South Alabama by 1, Washington by 8 and Utah by 10. Lost to Oregon.
USC - Beat 6-2 Oregon State by 3 points. Only lost to 6-2 Utah by 1 point on the road.
TWO BCS COMPUTER TOP SIX
Sagarin's predictive model top 6 - Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Michigan and then Oregon. Undefeated Clemson is 8th and TCU is 12th.
Colley Matrix's "Deserve" model top 6 - Georgia, Clemson, TCU, Ohio State, Tennessee and then Michigan. Alabama is 7th and Oregon is 9th.
My ballot - Georgia, Ohio State, Tennessee, Michigan, Clemson and TCU in that order. Not ready to put a 1-loss team into the mix.
Please both submit your top 6 and participate in the poll.
